Police officers to be asked to submit affidavit proving no torture cell in their jurisdiction: Shahbaz Gill
|
[DAWN] Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
chief minister's spokesperson Dr Shahbaz Gill on Wednesday announced that Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had ordered that every deputy superintendent of police (DSP) and district police officer (DPO) in the province would be required to submit an affidavit that there was no torture cell within their respective station's jurisdiction.
The order comes after several cases came to light recently of suspects dying in the custody of Punjab police due to alleged torture.
Addressing a presser, Gill shared some of the immediate steps the provincial government is taking to deal with the situation. He said if an incident of torture occurs following the submission of the affidavit, a first information report (FIR) will be registered against the DPOs and DSPs instead of coppers and sub-inspectors as is generally done.
Earlier, Punjab Inspector General of Police (IGP) retired Capt Arif Nawaz Khan had also stated that FIRs would be registered against the DPO, DSP and station house officer (SHO) concerned in the case of torture or death in jug while the SHO involved in such incidents would be blacklisted for posting at any cop shoppe.
Gill further said that Chief Minister Buzdar had expressed a desire to form an independent board, the final form of which would soon be developed and enforced in the police. In the case of an incident taking place, media persons, school teachers and people from different walks of life would be included in the board, he revealed.
